Well, you could say 2016 was her karma slap down.

I honestly thought she’d be dead by now. I figured all that falling down, followed by losing, and she’d have drank herself dead by now...

FYI the former Navy Seal who called BS on Nathan Phillip’s claim to have been a Recon Ranger in Vietnam just got his YouTube channel deleted by YouTube.

“I am 100% that CNN, the Washington Post, and their Democrat party handlers are pulling out all the stop behind the scenes to make sure the cases go to the “right” judges, if you know what I mean.”

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Trump has appointed two of the judges, others were appointed by G.W. Bush. Might be hard to find the “right” judge.

Does anyone know if this would be covered by CNN’s insurance?

I wonder what it would take to really hurt them.

I know these lawyers by reputation. They don’t know me.

They are not weak GOPe pukes. They are highly skilled and ethical fighters (compare and contrast to the GOPe) who can be viscous when they smell blood in the water. And they smell blood. Good for them.

I expect CNN and their ilk are about to have a very bad day. Again, good for this law firm and their client(s).

In their arrogance at being used to say anything about anyone, however false, and in their terminal TDS, the media has so completely screwed this one. I feel bad for the kid as he was collateral damage, but hopefully the millions he collects will help him move on with his life.

Here’s the real problem for CNN, the kid did nothing, not a public figure and a minor. That’s the golden trifecta for Lin Woods. Better yet he has another 80 suits to file. This now an industry for him.
. . . and may God prosper him mightily in that “industry.”
Trump is a public figure and as such not protected.
Justice Thomas questions that, in principle. Turns out that there are technical flaws, according to him, with the rationale of New York Times v. Sullivan.

Beyond that, in 1964 the Warren Court did not have before it the fact that wire service journalism is a blatant violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Most of the criticism of “bias in the media” only traces back to Walter Cronkite’s reaction to the Tet Offensive, which was a few years later.

Nah. Doesn't faze them. I hope these kids go through with law suit but CNN can afford it. The only shock to them would be if a lot of their advertisers pulled out of this and that hasn't happened.

True. David Hogg didn’t ask advertisers to pull out as it wasn’t Fox, so no harm done.

Like the incredibly wimpy voiced judge on video saying “yes, black lives matter” in a court case in his courtroom. Was on YouTube. Incredible. A cheesy leftist slogan used in his decision.
